Police spokesperson Katlego Mogale says the suspects were arrested in Thembalethu during a joint operation between national and local police together with the Hawks.
“The resultant search uncovered unlicensed firearms and ammunition, which will be subjected to forensic analysis to determine the links to other committed crimes.
“The group has been charged for conspiracy to commit an armed robbery, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.”
The suspects will remain behind bars ahead of a formal bail application on January 15.
